Question

On a number line point M is the midpoint of PQ. Point P is -2 point M is 5. What number is located at point Q?

A) 7
B)8
C)12
D)14

Answer 1

I think it will be 12 because if 5 has to be in the middle then the distance of Q has to equal the distance of P

Answer 2

12

Explanation:

We know 5 in the midpoint and P = -2. Point P is 7 points away (5--2=7). Then to find the point Q you add 7 to 5 which equals 12.
